Ashes (Modern-Day Fairy Tale Book 1) by MK Harkins – Review by Katy H

Ashes by M.K. Harkins
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a modern-day telling of Cinderella. There have been dozens and dozens of Cinderella themed books over the years. I can’t say I’ve ever come across one where the girl that is comparable to Cinderella works in a funeral home doing makeup. The singer/dancer for Prince Charming has been done.

Ashley is an outcast at her high-school….mainly for one reason. That reason? She works in a funeral home giving makeovers to the newly departed. Harry is the Prince of Pop with the bad boy image to go with it. He’s sent back to high-school as part of his probation. His crime? Setting a school chemistry lab on fire. At least he has his best friend, George Sparks, there to keep him out of trouble…. or can he?

Ashley is a relatable character. She isn’t flat and monotonous. She has character, attitude which comes out more than once and a great personality.

Definitely a good read.
